Goodbye Project Online, Hello Limitless PPM Future

Microsoft has announced that Project Online End of Life is coming sooner than expected. Instead of investing in legacy systems, Microsoft is putting its resources into:

•    Planner Premium
•    Microsoft Teams
•    Microsoft 365 Copilot
•    Agentic AI and the Project Manager Agent
•    Power Platform
•    Dataverse

Every Project Online environment, especially those with customizations, will need to be refactored to transition successfully. The question is not if you will modernize, but how quickly and strategically you can modernize?

 

Transition Before It’s Too Late

Delaying your PPM modernization creates significant risks:

•    Loss of service and data once Microsoft discontinues support
•    Rising maintenance costs of keeping a legacy system alive
•    Lack of integration with Planner Premium, Teams, Power Platform, and Copilot
•    Lost competitive advantage as peers modernize their PMOs and gain AI-driven insights
